I thoroughly enjoy your show and I would like to rate it on ITunes I am having trouble doing that and if you have a link that would make it easier can you please send it to me. Thanks. I also notice that your show is no longer listed under religious/ other. This is how I first discovered your show and I think more people like myself are looking to that category to find like minded podcasts. Just an opinion. Great show

About the HIV story and Tom saying, “Why can’t you take the pills *and* pray?!?”

I think Tom will find that the people saying “don’t rely on the witchcraft of science” are people who do *not* take the pills. There is no risk to them, so it is easy for them to say with “authority” not to take the pills. If it doesn’t work, then it’s God cleansing the undesirables, and the undesirables may have repented and end up in Heaven.

Conversely, I don’t think you’ll see any obese Southern ministers saying “God wants *me* to stop taking my diabetes medication, and keep enjoying fried bacon and fried butter pie!” It will always be ministers telling “those” people to take the risk of stopping *their* medication.
